I did my sunroof with just a jigsaw and a metal blade. It came out pretty decent, you will have to use a nice file to round the edges so it looks good. And yes leave the plastic on when your cutting it.

Got a 4' by 4' sheet for $35 shipped from either aircraftspruce or whatever their competitor is. Other places on the interweb wanted $jack$, as did Homeboy Depot, and Lowes locally only carries heavyweight shatter-y plexiglass.

FYI, the CRX's rear hatch got discreetly sawzalled and lexaned, weighs in at 16 lbs 9 oz. Looks close enough to stock most ppl wouldn't notice.
